Japan angered by French TV host's nuclear joke

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan has reacted angrily to a French television host who showed a composite picture of national team goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima with four arms and made a joke about the “Fukushima effect”.

Praising Kawashima’s performance in Japan’s surprise 1-0 victory over France in a football friendly in Paris last Friday, Laurent Ruquier’s wisecrack drew laughter and applause in the studio.
